Language translation based on a location of a wireless device
First Claim
1. A method, with an information processing system, for translating text within an image captured by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one image from a wireless device;
determining a location where the image was captured by the wireless device;
identifying a set of text characters within the image;
determining a language associated with the set of text characters based on at least the location that has been determined;
determining a language context associated with the location that has been determined;
identifying at least one word within a language dictionary associated with the language context;
generating a prioritized language dictionary based on the at least one location and the language context that has been determined, wherein the generating comprises assigning a higher priority to the word associated with the language context than words in the language dictionary associated with other language contexts; and
translating the set of text characters into a language that is different than language that has been determined based on the prioritized language dictionary that has been generated, wherein the word that has been assigned a higher priority is selected from the prioritized language dictionary to translate the set of text characters over other words in the prioritized language dictionary that have been assigned a lower priority.

Abstract
A method, information processing system, and wireless communication device that translate text within an image captured by a wireless device. At least one image (114) is received image from a wireless device (104). A location where the image (114) was captured by the wireless device (104) is determined. A set of text characters is identified (414) within the image (114). A language associated with the set of text characters is determined (416) based on at least the location that has been determined. The set of text characters is translated (418) into a language that is different than language that has been determined.
